Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Reaches 20-point mark again
Rotowire
Hawkins chipped in 20 points (8-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 23 minutes during Friday's 144-118 loss to the Celtics.
That's now back-to-back games with at least 20 points for Hawkins. The third-year guard wasn't a consistent contributor for the Pelicans in 2025-26, but Hawkins has now logged at least 21 minutes in six of his last seven contests as he tries to build his case for a more stable role ahead of 2026-27.

Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Upgraded to available
Rotowire
Hawkins (illness) is listed as available for Tuesday's game against Utah.
Hawkins officially has the green light to suit up after initially being listed as questionable. With Zion Williamson, Herbert Jones and Saddiq Bey not expected to see any action, and Dejounte Murray (hand), Yves Missi (hand) and Trey Murphy (ankle) ruled out, Hawkins might find himself in the starting lineup. If anything, he should see more opportunities to produce.

Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Dealing with illness
Rotowire
Hawkins is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Jazz due to an illness.
Hawkins was a late addition to the injury report, which is never a good sign. However, if he can shake off the ailment, the third-year wing could see expanded minutes, as Dejounte Murray (hand) and Trey Murphy (ankle) remain out. Over his last five appearances, Hawkins has averaged 7.4 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 19.0 minutes.

Rotowire
Hawkins chipped in nine points (3-3 FG, 3-3 3Pt), three rebounds and one block over 22 minutes during Thursday's 129-108 loss to the Pistons.
Hawkins saw his largest workload since Jan. 13, as Trey Murphy (ankle) received the night off for maintenance. Murphy will likely be back in the mix Friday against the Raptors, but Hawkins could remain involved, since Dejounte Murray (rest) is expected to sit out.

Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Muted role continues
Rotowire
Hawkins logged zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) in one minute during Saturday's 115-105 win over Utah.
Hawkins logged just one minute, moving into the rotation for just the fourth time in the past 16 games. Three of those appearances have been during garbage time only, highlighting just how far down the pecking order he currently is. Outside of dynasty formats, Hawkins has no value right now.

Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Cleared to play Tuesday
Rotowire
Hawkins (illness) is good to go for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.
Hawkins will shake off a questionable tag and is set to return from a two-game absence. He's been very underwhelming this season, posting averages of 5.1 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 15.2 minutes per contest. However, with Zion Williamson (adductor) slated to miss extended time, Hawkins could be more involved offensively moving forward.

Rotowire
Hawkins (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.
Hawkins remains under the weather and is in danger of missing his third consecutive contest. If the 23-year-old guard is ultimately ruled out, Bryce McGowens and Jose Alvarado are candidates for a slight uptick in playing time.

Rotowire
Hawkins (personal) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Rotowire
Hawkins finished Monday's 121-98 loss to the Suns with one point (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT) and one rebound across 16 minutes.
Hawkins continues to struggle at the back end of the rotation in New Orleans. Through nine regular-season contests, Hawkins is shooting 26.1 percent from the field and 20.8 percent from beyond the arc with averages of 3.8 points and 1.6 rebounds in 15.0 minutes per contest. He's way too cold to be utilized in most fantasy formats at the moment.

Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Records no stats in loss
Rotowire
Hawkins racked up zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) over seven minutes during Sunday's 137-106 loss to the Thunder.
Hawkins has slowly fallen in the depth chart, as he has seen his second straight contest with less than 10 minutes played despite averaging 16.7 minutes in the first three games of the season. With Jordan Poole being moved to the bench, Hawkins' role has seemingly diminished. He will likely only see the court in the event of injury or blowouts.

Rotowire
Hawkins ended Monday's 122-90 loss to Boston with zero points (0-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 15 minutes.
Despite being the primary backup to Trey Murphy, Hawkins has not been able to produce much during his time on the court. He has not recorded a steal or block in the first three games of the season and is shooting 35.7 percent from the field. Hawkins' next opportunity to bounce back from Monday's scoreless output would be Wednesday against the Nuggets.

Rotowire
Hawkins had 14 points (6-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt) and one steal across 20 minutes in Saturday's 127-92 exhibition game win over the Melbourne Phoenix.
Hawkins led the second unit in points and finished as the team's third-leading scorer. The No. 14 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft appeared in just 56 regular-season games (nine starts) last season due largely to back issues, averaging 10.8 points and 2.8 rebounds across 23.6 minutes per game. The 23-year-old is likely to play a meaningful role behind Trey Murphy (foot) this season.

Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Deemed 100 percent for camp
Rotowire
Hawkins (back) said Tuesday that he hasn't had any health issues for the entire summer, Erin Summers of the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network reports.
Hawkins missed the final eight games of the 2024-25 regular season with a nagging back problem, but the guard said he's "1,000 percent" better. The Pelicans will look a lot different in 2025-26, as Trey Murphy, Herbert Jones and Zion Williamson are all healthy, plus the team will be welcoming some new additions in Jordan Poole and Jeremiah Fears. Hawkins is penciled in as the backup shooting guard, but minutes will not be easy to come by.
